I saw that Amanda had posted this, and I was curious just how many of these books I had read (30).

This list made me realize that I have to read more Graham Greene, and by more I mean that I've read nothing at all and need to start. I also have to read Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I've read his short stories, which are amazing, but "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is still on my shelf waiting to be read.

Some surprises about this list -- Nothing by Michael Chabon, yet an overabundance of Don DeLillo. Also, only one Stephen King novel, and it's not even "It." And I'm surprised Neil Gaiman didn't make the list; "American Gods" should be required reading. And where's Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces"? Also, for pre-1700 -- where's "The Epic of Gilgamesh"?
